Rajinikanth’s team condemns offensive remarks against Vijay; releases official statement

Rajinikanth and Vijay, two of Tamil cinema's biggest stars, have a massive fan following, with each actor commanding immense admiration and loyalty from their supporters. The ongoing feud between Vijay and Rajinikanth fans has escalated on social media, with both sides exchanging heated comments and criticisms. This digital clash was triggered during a recent incident involving derogatory remarks on Vijay that sparked significant controversy, particularly after a Twitter Spaces conversation went viral, where certain individuals claiming to be Rajinikanth’s fans made disrespectful comments, including calling for Vijay to be hit with eggs. These remarks quickly spread across social media, igniting tension between Rajinikanth and Vijay's fanbases. The situation escalated into an online clash between the two groups, raising concerns about the impact of such negative interactions in the film industry.
In response to this incident, Rajinikanth's camp has officially released a statement condemning the offensive comments made against Vijay. The statement asserts, “The comments made by someone who introduced themselves as a fan of Rajinikanth, targeting actor Vijay, are entirely unacceptable. Such comments are against the principles upheld by true Rajinikanth fans.” The statement emphasizes that real fans of Rajinikanth would never engage in such hurtful actions, urging everyone to respect each other, regardless of fandom.
Furthermore, the statement expressed concern over how media outlets and social media platforms have amplified these negative interactions. It cautions, “The repeated sharing of such harmful content only fosters division and animosity. Media and social networks should take responsibility and refrain from perpetuating such negative events.” Rajinikanth’s camp has called on all fans to behave with dignity and respect, stressing that the true essence of fandom is to celebrate and support the work of beloved actors in a positive light.
The statement also highlighted that cinema should unite people, not divide them. Rajinikanth's team urged fans to celebrate their stars with love and positivity, promoting a culture of respect and harmony rather than hatred.
On the work front, Rajinikanth was last seen in the action drama 'Vettaiyan' which was directed by the 'Jai Bhim' fame TJ Gnanavel.
